Abstract

Employing an epoxide rearrangement based ring contraction reaction, a short and efficient regioselective approach to the C-6 to C-19 segment of the toluquinol substituted diterpenes bifurcaranes, and its extension to a formal total synthesis of the sesquiterpenes (±)-β- microbiotene,(±)-microbiotol and (±)-cyclocup
